Description: The "P" mix of R2 -- which honestly probably wouldn't have fit the actual level very well now that I know more about it. Oh well. I was really proud of these and wanted to share anyway. :D

A more primal, but bouncy take on the Present theme! Perfect adaption of the past. There are motifs of Collision Chaos to be heard here. I LOVE how the samples are higher and more frequent. percussion is also top notch. Yep, this is a certified "banger", as the kids say.

Having some fun with some friends, and our own take on a sonic CD styled-soundtrack! https://soundcloud.com/marcb0t ,https://soundcloud.com/raphaelgoulart , https://soundcloud.com/kamiyana  and me!

Twilight Thicket Zone, Act 1

Sunrise Gate Zone Act 1

What happens when https://soundcloud.com/marcb0t ,https://soundcloud.com/raphaelgoulart , https://soundcloud.com/kamiyana and I all work on a song together?  ...This.  While we never got to finish the project this was for (we called it Sonic CD2!) we all had a blast working on it! I'm only going to post a few songs from it, however, as most were incomplete.  Enjoy!

MEGA COLLAB - Seaside Serenity Zone [Present]

This was another from that 'Sonic CD2' project! The majority of the original tune in this was composed by https://soundcloud.com/marcb0t , and I arranged it, and extended it with some new parts I composed. :D It was one of the more complete songs in the project, along with Seaside Serenity. There was one other zone that we completed a few tunes for...

Lunar Light Zone [Present] =Corrected=

The last zone we really got to start on in the project was Diluvian Desert Zone. I wanted to do something a bit different with this, both musically, and concept wise. The stage centered around a desert lake backed up behind a dam in the present, although in the past, the dam was being built, so it was a much smaller lake.  The desert was 'high desert,' (there is a lot of this in eastern California) and as such it was snowing during the level.  The time of day was sunset or sunrise, and in the futures and present, a city would be able to be seen way off in the distance. Sometimes, trains were meant to pass by in the background. Steam trains in the past, freight trains in the present, and bullet trains in the futures. It was supposed to be one of the final levels.
Musically, I went for a sound more in line with the US soundtrack for a lot of this theme, but also included elements familiar to fans of the Japanese soundtrack (personally, I love both! :D )

Since the project was never finished, I am likely to include this in Elancia Chronicles in some way. :D

"It's a wonderful mine, and soon it will be all mine!
See what I did there? Huh? Huh? Didja?"
- Eggman.

Anyway, lame puns aside, I love how this one came out. It's a sparkling lively mine full of bright shiny colors. What's not to love about this level? (don't answer that)

Quartz Quadrant Present - "Glisten"

Egg Rocket Zone

An arrange of the overworld theme from Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle in the style of Jun Senoue's works from Game No Kanzume Vol 1/2. I don't think it's 100% accurate but I think I got some aspects of it down.

Can't-stop-won't-stop 8

Myself, https://soundcloud.com/marcb0t , https://soundcloud.com/raphaelgoulart and https://soundcloud.com/kamiyana are still working on this Sonic CD-esque project in our spare time, believe it or not! This is about the only thing from my part of the project that's gotten completed in the past several months though ^///^; SO HERE IT IS! Jubilant Jungle Zone, in the present.  I may make minor adjustments later, as I did with Lunar Light zone!

Jubilant Jungle Zone Present

Well, here is the first track started for the Sonic CD 2 collaboration. The one that @leila-wilson-woofle, @raphaelgoulart, and I have been slowly working on.

Lunar Light Zone in the past, has a strange mix of city life from the 40's, 70's, and 80's. You might find hints of various jazz tunes from all these eras that help to capture the city night feel.

I plan to make an enhanced and extended version of this in the future. And possibly convert it over to play on Sega CD PCM which is how it should be! :P

note: PSG sounds abnormally detuned when playing the ROM in GENS emulator :(
